represented by a straight path that extends in two opposite directions without end and has no thickness; contains infinitely many points |
|
Plane |
represented by a flat surface that extends without end and has no thickness; contains infinitely many lines |
|
Collinear Points |
points that lie on the same line |

|
Deductive Reasoning |
The use of facts, definitions, rules, and/or properties to prove that a conjecture is true |
|
Inductive Reasoning |
The process of observing data, recognizing patterns, and making a generalization |
|
Theorem |
A statement or conjecture that has been proven |
|
Proof |
An argument that transforms a conjecture to a theorem through the application of logical reasoning or deductive reasoning |
|
Hypothesis |
The “if” clause in an if-then statement |
|
Conclusion |
The “then” clause in an if-then statement |
|
